Nice shop. Nice people. But I do not agree when you pay for a tap out session or a half of a session they like to take breaks the first hour and a half. If Im paying you by the hour then you shouldnt be taking 25 min smoke breaks. Also I dont think you should count the hour it takes too draw the tat on out of the session and if you do you should either compensate the time at end of session or work a extra hour. As well as the breaks they shouldnt count on you hourly time. I get you need breaks because its rough on your hands Im sure but if Im paying 600 dollars for 4 hours of tattooing then I want 4 hours of tattooing. If Im paying 900 dollars for 8 hours then I want 8 hours of tattooing. Period. The work you do is amazing but charging hourly rates and taking your time to milk the clock is not right..Sincerely Shelby

Me and my friend passed it today sept 8th and randomly decided to get small matching tattoos. we got exactly what we asked for. our tattoo artist was mike and he was super friendly, although everyone we encountered was super friendly! i would definitely recommend to anyone maybe wanting a first tattoo, they’re good at making you feel comfortable in the chair with good conversation. we loved the vibe of the shop & they were very clean when it came to my friend and i switching out. we will definitely be returning for some more work!

Matt did an awesome job on the paw print tattoo. Its a perfect tribute to my family dog that passed away last month at the age of 18. (It was her exact paw print that the vet got) Thank you so much!!

Mike and the entire staff is amazing! I wanted a quick spur off the moment tattoo, I walked in expecting having to make an appointment but Mike saw what I wanted and had a opening and made it happen. I will without a doubt be going back to get more artwork done!!!

I got 4 ear piercings and the piercer was very clean and cautious. he spent time measuring where to place them and put in effort to make them look good. can out amazing. even gave me a card for a rewards program and i receive a free piercing in the end. wait time was short. amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. the shop was very cool and was well put together. 10/10.

Loved the tattoo artist. Super sweet and talked with us the whole time. But had a allergic reaction to the ink for some reason. Mind you this is my 8th tattoo and its never happened.

Went in on the only day I was free! Booked a slot with Kat, she was running an hour behind! Another artist stepped up who had free time, very pleased with the double infinity arm band with the match sticks, the flame 🔥 needs some red and blue added! Wish I could post a picture of what artist did with an older tattoo that rejected red ink 10 years ago! Ink has really gotten better, no ink rejection! Did a beautiful job! Would like to get a sternum unalome and a bit of touch up on an older tattoo! Best tattoo shop in BG.. these artists can bring your tattoo ideas to life! Great staff, clean and will go back again! Thinking on Monday since y’all have a day off on Sunday! Thank you for the beautiful armband and for working me in!! #tattoolife #MadTatterKY

So first of all this was my first professional tattoo Ive ever had an Matt was my artist, everybody there is absolutely without a doubt the nicest friendliest people Ive ever met. I made friends with everyone an this tat was very special an personal to me. I was a hot mess crying showing them the pictures of what I wanted an Matt wrote it out perfectly to my papa handwriting. She even added a word that was not writin out by him an looks exactly like my papas handwriting. This was the best therapy session that I needed the whole time. I went in a hot mess an came out with a weight lifted off my chest. I cant describe in words how genuinely amazing these people are at their job an customer service. We live next to the owner Mike an I knocked on his door before work an he fit me in that day even tho they were super busy. They offered me hugs an it was just overall so therapeutic for me an my husband that I cant put in words how much we needed this experience. Everything was clean an superb. Cheap prices for hands down the best work. I already am gonna call to schedule for another. Honestly wish I could be there everyday. Lol. They are just amazing people!!!! Im sorry Matt that I talked tour head off while u needed me to be still but u r awesome. Your girlfriend was bomb as well. Love yall.

Matt did a fantastic job on me and my wifes tattoos, we did a walk in on a busy day and still got a quick appt. It was my wifes first tattoo after grieving for the loss of her pa pa she said the whole experience was not only good but therapuetic. The staff and artist(matt) did a great job accommidating her stress. Will go back

Im super disappointed in this place! Monday, I went inside to get a tattoo consultation and at first, everything was going well. They were nice, accommodating, and could get me in on Wednesday, which I had every intention on doing, however, they said they would make up the tattoo when I came in, which I thought was odd, since in the past, my tattoos were drawn up before I came in to get them done. Wednesday comes along and I feel awful! I go to get a rapid covid test done and it comes back positive. I call them and have to cancel at the last second, which I was super bummed about, but I didnt want to lie and go in knowing I was sick. Once my quarantine was over, I reached out to them again asking if I could reschedule. They said I would have to pay the $50 deposit again for cancelling at the last minute. I told them I got sick at the last minute and didnt exactly have a choice. The man on the phone got snippy at me, saying I was the reason I had to shut down their store for a day and clean it. Of course, I felt awful, but I didnt know I was sick on Monday! I felt fine. They informed me they would ask about the deposit and will call me back. They never did call me back and I was never refunded the $50. I know it wasnt refundable, however, you would think they would be willing to work around my circumstance. I set up an appointment elsewhere, long story short. Dont come to Mad Tatter unless you want to throw away $50 for no tattoo.

Went in July for an outline tattoo of 3 lilies. Whole thing took 45 after he went out for a 30 minute smoke break after I got there- on time. And was charged $250. I don’t recommend going here unless you wanna be over charged. Found out a week later when I met my guy best friend there after recommending the place Bc it was the only place I’ve ever gone for tattoos the guy who did my tattoo actually charged $150 an hour. Obviously he didn’t mind taking advantage of me. Not to mention the tattoo isn’t even that great- definitely not worth $250. Some of the lines look like they’re bleeding and I’m definitely going to need a cover up or some kind of fix.

Tattoo done by Tattoo_Hendricks. Amazing. He took time listening to what I had thought up. Drew it out in front of me. Listened to my thoughts and made adjustments as needed. It’s been 4 weeks now, and it’s healed perfectly. He is not heavy handed so no scabbing up while healing. It’s nice and smooth and color/lines are even. Totally recommend. Also everyone that was in there was friendly and talkative. Just a good atmosphere.

I’ve gotten 2 tattoos from here and both were great. I had to come here from Tennessee because they don’t tattoo minors and I’m 17. My first one was pretty basic, but the one I got today I put more thought into it. The guy that sketched it up did a phenomenal job and kept coming to me to check if I liked it. Willy, the guy who actually did it, made sure I was alright the entire time. It turned out beautifully. The entire staff here is so chill and kind. I’ll come back even when I’m 18 and can get one in Tennessee!

Cool/nice guys but kinda expensive for what they gave me and my friend. I had a tattoo that took 5 minutes at most, got charged $60 and my friend had a tattoo that took maybe 3 minutes and got charged $80. I don’t know if they ripped us off or what but I’m sure you could find a better deal somewhere else if you are wanting something simple.

I moved to bowling green almost a year ago, Mikes shop was the first place I went in to with just a random idea for a cover up and he nailed it, a year later and I’ve gotten so many others from his as well everyone else from the shop! Everyone up there are phenomenal artists, great work, great atmosphere and great service! Definitely would recommend anyone from the shop for your next piece!

Mike did an awesome job on my Tattoo today. He was knowledgeable and put great effort into making sure I liked what he was tatting. It’s exactly what I want and he has a great artistic mind. I can’t wait to go back. Everybody in the shop is great. I definitely recommend everybody go check them out. This is now my spot for when I want more Tattoos. If I could give The Mad Tatter “10 stars” I would. Definitely a satisfied customer. And they give you in-depth instruction on how to take care of it. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Review №68

Went in for a small simple cross on my wrist, I thought there was a little chance anyone could mess up two straight lines that does tattoos for a living but I was obviously wrong. The guy that did my tattoo didn’t stencil it on but instead drew it on with an orange sharpie. I should have ran then and I wouldn’t be in the predicament I’m in. But I let him continue and when he was done my cross came out uneven, blotchy, crooked and way thicker than I had wanted. When he was done he didn’t even bandage the tattoo and I told him I wasn’t satisfied and that it was crooked and all he said was “well I’m sorry”. He didn’t make me pay and offered to fix it and got an attitude about it but I wasn’t letting him anywhere near my arm again. I had to go to another shop in hopes that they could fix it and they were nice enough to actually doctor it up for me. It has since scabbed up and a lot of the ink is just falling out even though I am following correct aftercare instructions 3 times a day. I am very displeased with his attitude after the fact and the quality of my tattoo. I don’t know about the other artists there but this guy needs to find a new profession. Completely unprofessional.

Do not be fooled by this place, knowing because I had told them this was my first tattoo and like a idiot I fell for it, they charged me 100$ for the lidocaine treatment that they suggested they wouldnt get a tattoo without and I got into the tattoo and it hurt like crazy, the lidocaine didn’t even work, I later on searched up how much a tub costs and it’s 15-20$! I siggested some of the money back but got nothing in return
